Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai posted about Dharmendra's last movie, Ikkis, expressing heartfelt congratulations to the Deol family and the Maddock Films team following its premiere. He noted the warm audience applause for the emotional drama and singled out performances by Jaideep Ahlawat and Agastya Nanda. Actress Ameesha Patel also thanked Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol for a special screening, calling the film a fitting tribute to the legend and highlighting Dharmendra's innocent charm.
The movie depicts the life of Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra award during the 1971 war, with Dharmendra portraying the soldier's father. The actor passed away on the same day the studio released his character poster. Previously, the makers shared a nostalgic poem written by Dharmendra about missing his home village, reflecting his personal sentiments.
